Heidelberg is vivacious and full of life, as befits a university town. Nighttime revellers have an endless array of ways and places to congregate, from rustic student pubs to nightclubs, jazz clubs, and music clubs.

Pub Mile "Untere Strasse"

Untere Strasse ("Lower Street", parallel to Hauptstrasse) is reminiscent of a mediterranean old-town alleyway. Unusual boutiques are side by side with novel student pubs, and night life pulsates here throughout the week.

Bars & Nightlife

Max Bar

On Market Square in Heidelberg, "Max Bar" introduces an atmosphere of authentic Parisian charm. Artists, students, workmen and academicians come to Max Bar not only for coffee and the daily papers but also in the evening, when the pace picks up.

Hemingway’s Heidelberg

The scenic bar with a maritime-rustical atmosphere attracts guests and Heidelberg regulars alike for a convivial evening with cocktails, or a beer in the beer garden. Close to the Neckar river and to Convention Hall, a short stroll from Bismarck Square.

SKYlounge Der Turm

Where in days of old a bell foundry was in full swing, today on the eighth floor of a tower house guests toast one another with fine cocktails and enjoy a far-reaching view that is nothing short of magnificent. The style of decor is simple elegance.

Print Media Lounge

Directly across from the main train station, the sparkling glass exterior of the Print Media Academy is already a landmark. Ever since the Lounge on the ground floor of the building came into existence, it has been one of the most frequented spots for Heidelberg nightlife. A choice rendezvous for all generations.

Cave 54

In the rustic cellar vaults of the oldest student jazz club, a colourful live program is presented every month. Jazz greats such as Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Oscar Peterson, and Lionel Hampton have honored "Cave 54" with an appearance. Today just as 50 years ago, Cave 54 is a popular meeting place in the Old Town for first-hand experience of good music enjoyed with a glass of wine.
